Halsey gave an empowering speech at the Women’s March in New York City. The singer told a TMZ.com photographer, “I hope he (Donald Trump) watches my f**king speech!” According to DailyMail.co.uk, Halsey’s poem tackled the issue of sexual assault by sharing her personal experiences. “It’s 2009 and I’m 14 and I’m crying. Not really sure where I am but I’m holding the hand of my best friend Sam, in the waiting room of a Planned Parenthood. You see, my best friend Sam was raped by a man that we knew because he worked in the after-school programme. And she’s praying she doesn’t need an abortion, she couldn’t afford it,” she said.
“It’s 2018 and I’ve realised that nobody is safe as long as she is alive, and every friend that I know has a story like mine. And that’s why we’re here. And that’s why we rally. It’s Olympians and a medical resident and not one f***ing word from the man who is President,” she added.
